The funniest political writing I've read in a long time...
Yeah, it's a little late: it's about the War on Christmas....but it's goddamned hilarious. From Needles on the Beach:

"The Last Christmas"


Bill O’ Reilly was teaching the homeless to fish when the call came in from Fox central.

“Bill, it’s Roger,” said Roger Ailes, chairman of the only fair and balanced news channel on television, “there’s been a major news event and we need you here immediately.”

“What is it this time, boss?” O’ Reilly asked. “Palestinians getting riled up again? Wal-Mart workers trying to unionize without regard to the long-term effects on the U.S. economy?”

“Worse,” Roger replied. “Much worse. It’s the liberals. It’s . . . Christmas.”

“I suspected as much,” O’ Reilly said. “My finally-attuned sense of cultural trends told me something was fishy. No pun intended, boys,” he chuckled to the bums.

“You’re the best, Bill,” Ailes conceded.

“I’m only as good as my intellect makes me, boss,” O’ Reilly replied, humbly. “I’m on my way.”
